ALL XBOX 360 FANS/EXPERTs…?
1.) What are some cool accessories I can buy for my Xbox 360?
2.) What can I buy for my wireless controller to make it last longer? and is there anything that can recharge the batteries?
3.) Is the only way to get music on the 360 to make a CD and rip it to the 360? or is there another way to get it on the 360? (and im not counting streaming music from your PC to your xbox)
4.) Last one… When is GTA4 coming out?!? and will you be able to play it on xbox live?
THANKS FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP!
**I WILL BE CHOOSING A BEST ANSWER**
1) There are many accessories for the 360. The HDDVD drive is one of the best if you have an HDTV, and microsoft currently has a promotion for 5 free movies when you purchase it.

Another accessory is the webcam, which can be used within some games. Rainbow Six Vegas allows you to map your real face to your in-game character if you have the webcam.
2) There is a "play and charge" kit that is basically a rechargable battery for your Xbox 360 controller. It comes with a wire that plugs into the USB port of your xbox to recharge.
3) It is possible to connect USB devices, including an iPod to your xbox and play music that way. The iPod support requires an additional download from the marketplace (the download is free). Streaming from a networked PC is still the best option in my opinion.
4) It was supposed to be released in 2007 but has been delayed until Spring 2008. Hopefully there will be no more delays. It does include online play.

1.headset, fan cooler thing, faceplates,stuff like that
2.buy rechargable batteries and reuse them
3.i think you can use your ipod through the usb but i'm not sure
4.there is no realease date and yes you can play on x box live
The live vision camera is a cool accessory, since you can put your own face in certain games like Rainbow Six Vegas.
The play and charge kit lets you charge the controller while you play and you can take it off and be wireless again when it is fully charged.
For music, that is the only way I know.
GTA4 (which I can't wait for) is slated for sometime between Feb and April
1) Faceplates are pretty nice way to customize your xbox. You could also try a hard drive (if you don't already have one) to store music, movies, and other data.
2) yes, there is a recharger (called a play and charge kit) that you can buy. it lets you play and recharge at the same time.
3) yes, you can download some tracks off the marketplace (though they are usually game related). as for music you might listen to on an everyday basis, your only options are streaming and ripping a CD.
4) GTA4 is scheduled to (hopefully) come out in Feb 2008. And yes, it is 16 player online
okayyyy
1: buy on little cover thing or just customize your xbox controller. you can always buy stuff on xbox live
2: yes you can buy a rechargeable battery. when you buy one pick up a battery with one of the recharge cables, or just simply be cgeap like me and by the lower end ones lol
3:Yes thats the only way to get music on the 360 harddrive. you could just connect an mp3 player but there is no use of it since it aint permanet lol
4:most sites say april 30th, and there will probaly be some kind of downloadable content but i dont know about actually playing. because its just 1 person you play with in the game and it would be hard….
good luck!!!
1. Headset, custom face plates, stay away from things like intercoolers, they can melt and be stuck on the 360 causing overheating.
2. Use rechargeable batteries and buy a battery charger.
3. Not sure.
4.Sometime between February and April 2008, the 360 version is finished, but they are still developing the PS3 version. But Rockstar and Sony have some deal where the 360 version can be released after the PS3 version is finished.
1. You can buy an intercooler that keeps your Xbox 360 much cooler, faceplates, Play And Charge Kit, wireless headset, wireless controller and a whole lot more. I suggest http://www.consolesource.com. They have lots of case modifiers, controller modifiers, repair kits, and much more.
2. I suggest getting the Play And Charge Kit, and you can charge the battery while you play, and when its done charging, then you can play it wirelessly. When the battery wears out, just get a new one for like 15 dollars.
3. Just get your favorite music disc and save it to your storage device. This takes some time though. If you are using an Ipod or something, connect it via a USB cable, and go to media center and save the music.
4. I'm not sure, but I'm sure it is Xbox Live, cause almost every Xbox 360 game is for Xbox Live.
I hope I helped you!
